Today the mercury mercifully dipped below 80 degrees which meant the moment was here: The Time To Wear My Awesome High-Waisted Red Pants. I know they say red is a power color, but until you have red pants of your own, you don't realize how cheer-inducing and powerful-feeling red can be. I feel endowed with extra strength today, like I could lift a car off a hurt baby or pilot an emergency helicopter or even finish annotating the three volumes of essays I've read in the past few weeks.

While I love the colored jeans trend, I haven't dived in myself yet. I'm a little nervous about how to wear it and how it will be received in my rinky-dink town. I love the way you wore them; definitely something I could do without getting looked at funny.

Wow, those red pants are perfection! They make such a statement even though it's a simple outfit overall. LOVE 'em! I've been thinking of getting color jeans for a while (specially after seeing Elaine rock so many different hues). I think if I go for it, it'll have to pick red now! :D

Well, this post has convinced me that I need some red pants, stat. If the totally hot hotness of your self in them didn't do the trick, the promise of miracles in your post certainly would've. I need some extra strength like mad. :)

I've been on the hunt for red pants for a while, but have yet to find the right pair for me. These are amazing on you, though! The high waist is a nice touch and I really love how you've toned down the rest of your look with soft neutrals to balance the WOW of the red. You look great as always!

thank you so much, rachel!i am definitely a skirts person, too. i like they way they look on me...but occassionally a pair of pants is super comfortable, too, i'm finding. something about the bright color doesn't look lazy (even though is can be put together hastily).

anonymous--i think it's just the angle of the camera and how i'm standing, actually! christopher's got some magic angle that burns off the pounds.i've been eating twizzlers by the bucket-load, so it can't be that!

I have a pair of red pants too (though I like the cut of yours more) & they do make me feel powerful & can brighten any day. I've had mine for ages but have been mixing them up a lot more this year by pairing them with peachy pinks and light blues.
